The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.
Re: Madden 09 Patch #1 Released, Discuss Here (360, PS3)
I have asked this before but no one knew the answer. Will I be able to notice the gameplay fixes in my franchise where I am already a couple of games in or do I have to restart my franchise to get the fixes.

the patches do not effect franchise. You'll notice the gameplay changes without restarting.
I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I think it'd save a lot of confusion if you copied Ian's list of issues the patch was supposed to address into the top post here, just a thought.
Edit: Sorry, it wasn't Ian who posted that, it was one of the others, either way, it'd be useful I think.
I just got the patch, playing my first game now, from what I remember of the list the only gameplay-related fix is with the kick-returns, I'll keep an eye on that.
Awesome idea. Hey TJ can we do that for all patches. It makes it easy to find it. I am glad they have the patch out. I am going to DL it right now.

Until they fix the freeze issue I'm not turning the game one. I'm sick of starting a game only to have it freeze up after just a play or two....on my second copy so it is the game.
Sad that isn't in the first patch. Even sadder they allowed this game to be released with a game killer bug. I don't play online so I could care less about online fixes. I want freeze fixes.

I am not sure what "robo" qb is, but if it refers to the high completion % of the cpu, then they need to fix that. I just played the Bills and Edwards went 15-17!
Re: Madden 09 Patch #1 Released, Discuss Here (360, PS3)
I dont know what they actually fixed in patch, before patch i was having the most fun with madden in years, getting beat and being happy. I run a Falcons Franchise, 1st 3 games pre-patch: 27-24 loss to lions, 28-7 loss to Bucs, and a 24-14 win over chiefs. All realistic and only a few gameplay problems, but nothing major. Good number of sacks, not too many INT, great gameflow, absolutely awesome. Now, today i play first game after patch, against Panthers. I am winning 13-10 at half, so far so good, then I INT Delhomme---5 TIMES!!!!!!! 3 PICK 6'S!!!!, FINAL SCORE 34-10. I hope this was a fluke, I hope they did not screw up game more, I was so loving this game along with Headcoach.

Nice to see them get a patch out earlier, wish it had more meaningful stuff in it though. I dont play online at all, so not a big deal here, but wouldve been cool to get a few major things in here (field degradation, robo QB, running out of bounds etc) instead of keeping it all for patch 2.........but beggars cant be choosers, and its nice to see EA put out a patch that at least will help those who play online.
Re: Madden 09 Patch #1 Released, Discuss Here (360, PS3)
sad thing is they probably worked on this patch long before knowing people would be pissed about the real problems......and this gives them an excuse to wait while they try to figure out how to iron out the big issues.
